Please contact the us several weeks before the desired delivery date for most publications and allow even more time for new, extensive or complicated projects. If you have an important project that demands a rush schedule, contact us to see what can be done to produce the project within your time limit.

Production process

In general, these are the major steps for all publications:

Contact the Department to discuss timeframes for your project, and feasibility.

If the project proceeds, a meeting with a designer may be needed.

Text in final copy-edited form is supplied to designer (if needed).

The design is created and text is laid out.

You review the proof of the design, which indicates how text and art will appear on each page. (This is often done by emailed pdfs.)

The publication is sent for printing, or launched on the web. Finished publications are delivered to you, or stored in the campus Copy Center or MarCom office for you to collect.
